South Africans are complaining that Big Brother Naija is constituting a nuisance

Residents and restaurant owners at Linden in Cape Town are complaining
that the latest M-Net's Big Brother season is constituting a nuisance in
the country.

The people are said to be disturbed by the Big Brother Naija contestants
living in 4th Avenue close and next to the production's camera house.

Confirming
the noise complaints, Ward Councillor, Nicole van Dyk told Channel24
that the complaints about Big Brother Naija so far are not as many as in
the past.

'There have been complaints but the number has not been
overwhelming. Big Brother definitely has made an effort to quiet down
their studios and the house itself. In total I've received 4 complaints
since it began,' he said

In response to a media inquiry about the noise complaint, M-Net says it
'is aware of the recent noise concerns raised by residents and business
entities near the Big Brother house.

Please be assured that the producers, Endemol Shine Africa, have
already taken steps to reduce the noise levels so that both the
residents, surrounding businesses and the Big Brother production can
continue to reside and work amicably alongside each other.

However, South Africans living and working close to the studio space are wishing it were rather filmed in Lagos.
